Tree Line? Jesus it is the same manufacture of every other damn rtt in existance. Nothing innovative or better here then the other, especially at a 3800 price tag because it is Canadian company, they are not even manufactured in Canada. Buy a cat or Tepui and save some money.
The same. Not even close. Not saying that there are not other great tents but the Treeline has some strong differentiatiors that resonated with me and I thought some other people might enjoy hearing about some of these key points. If your key criteria is to save money then your correct, this is not your tent. For me, I had much larger needs and live in a Northern Climate.
Here's are my top tent differentiators.
My Top Ten List:
1) Round overall design for better performance in wind/rain and snow. Most competitor tents are all square and boxy and look more like civil war style tents. They pool water and do not shed snow.
2) Rounded patented windows that roll up all the way to create a 360 degree view from your truck tree house. The windows can be rolled up in good weather to take advantage of the great view or they can be steaked out with the spring poles when the weather turns ugly or you are trying to shade the tent.
3) Patented clear PVC skylight in the extended part of the tent. This feature really gives you a true 360 degree view from within the tent. It also provides natural light in the annex room when all the windows are closed.
4) Th only company that has all the attachment points on the underside of the tent when deployed. The gear hammock, webbing for gear attachment and the 4 rubber latches that can take 40lbs of back packs or any other equipment.
5) Two skylights in the tent for the most amazing stargazing, most have none or only one.
6) The tent Fly is cut in a swallow tail design for better line of sight out of the back of the tent.
7) Two spring poles for each side of the back of the fly to hold up against high winds.
8) 380g/m2 weight of the tent body poly-cotton rip stop material. Most other tent companies are using 240-280g/m2 especially all the Australian and southern climate companies.
9) Aluminum Honeycomb base material. This base is the worlds best material to make a tent base out of. Durability, strength etc. Aluminium honey comb is used regularly in Aerospace construction because it is strong and very light weight.
10) All straps on this tent are double the thickness/strength of any other tent out there.
Bonus. Treeline annexes have zip in zip out floors starting at the middle of the front door. This way you can unzip half the floor to put in a shower or drill your holes in the ice for your ice fishing set up.
$2800 US is my opinion for one of the most advanced soft shells tents in the world, personally when it comes to shelter especially in northern climates Treeline tents met all my criteria's and adventure needs.
